Rate

* Equipment Manager
o When enabled from the Interface Options menu, this feature will allow players to store sets of equipment, easily swap between saved sets using hotkeys, and pull items directly from backpacks or bank slots (must be at the bank to equip inventory from the bank).
* New art textures have been added for Argent Tournament mounts. Any mounts already purchased from the Argent Tournament vendors will be updated automatically. Argent Tournament mounts with the old textures will still be available for purchase from the Argent Tournament vendors for a small Champion's Seal and gold cost (standard faction requirements apply).

Mages

* Mirror Images: The images summoned by this spell will now target the creature that most hates the Mage, and should no longer cast Fire Blast or Frostbolt on targets that are affected by crowd control debuffs that break immediately on damage unless they are already casting these spells when crowd control is applied.

Paladins

In addition, the increased critical strike chance of Conflagrate provided by this talent no longer requires the Immolate effect to have 5 seconds or fewer remaining on the target.
* Nether Protection reduced to 30% damage reduction, down from 60%.
* Sacrifice (Voidwalker) redesigned: Sacrifices a portion of the Voidwalker's health, giving its master a shield that will absorb X damage for 30 seconds. While the shield holds, spell casting will not be interrupted by damage. 1-minute cooldown.

* Hunters
o Go For The Throat: Explosive Shot critical strikes now trigger this talent.
o Lock and Load: The tooltip has been corrected to display its actual chance to occur.

at 11:55 24/5/2009Search key term "intelligence" in the English dictionary you "pre ********** c*m stain", "dumb s**t" seems to be the only opening you can retort at the start of a sentence. That says allot about your IQ level, no body in the realistic sense cares about Blizzard games. They make horrible titles, worst looking weak plotted story driven rehashed junk you ever seen.
